[Sca-cooks] medieval dog recipes

[Jeff Gedney]

now there's a tidbit of which I was not in command of! 
thanks...

I had thought that since Frobisher's voyage is described as 
heading to the tropics with the trades, then Sailing north from 
Florida, and returning by the northern route, I rather thought 
that the Penguins referenced were South American... 

Now that I think about it... 
What was the Location given for "Penguin Island"? 
Off Newfoundland...  that would HAVE to be Auks then.

You just connected another piece of my Persona Jigsaw. 

I owe you a beer.

There are SO damn many more things I want to try in 
the SCA than I can possibly have time for. 
It's killing me!!!

Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think
You stand upon the ravage and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur. 
  - Shakespeare - Henry V, Act III, Prologue
